The Royal Commission for AlUla and the AlUla Development Company have chosen Kerten Hospitality to operate Cloud7. The property is home to 150 serviced bungalows, which can be lived in for short or long stays. Plus, it aims to create a community feel with events ranging from live music nights to farm-to-fork dining experiences.

John Northen, Vice President – Head of Hotels and Resorts, Royal Commission for AlUla, explained: “The opening of the Cloud7 Residence, operated by Kerten Hospitality, is an important milestone in our ongoing efforts to expand and diversify AlUla’s hospitality offerings. This partnership with Kerten Hospitality brings us closer to achieving our goal of providing 5,000-plus keys within the destination by 2030 while catering to diverse guest segments and meeting various accommodation needs.”
